Katie here!
If you’re Facebook friends with mama you know she’s working on a new challenge. She calls it her #365project. Seems like mama always has some project going on but most of the time I ignore it because it’s not about me, and, as I’m a princess, I believe it should always be about me.
Come on! We’re going for a walk!
But this project is brilliant! It makes mama go on a walk every day and post a picture on Facebook of something she saw. Think about it. A walk every day!
Even before the leaves come in there’s plenty of pretty in the woods.
And guess what? Sometimes mama takes me along with her! I’ve been to more parks in the past 13 days (today is day 14 of her project) than I’ve been in months! Why this week alone we’ve been to three parks!
It’s a perfect day for a walk!
I tell you, mama should get involved in stuff like this more often! I can’t believe my luck, though yesterday we didn’t get going until late in the day and it was too hot for me.
It’s hot mama, can we go back?
We only got a few hundred yards into the woods when I turned around to go back to the car and air conditioning. Mama said that was OK, we still got a walk in. She’s a good egg, my mama.
Earlier in the week we were at one of my parks and mama was busy taking pictures of pretty things that were not me! Most of the pictures in this blog post are from that walk. It was rainy and cool, perfect for a Sheltie Princess.
We had time to enjoy the reflections on the quiet lake.
Also perfect because no one else was out there and I got to walk off leash. When mama was busy taking pictures of not me I got to wander around. Mama didn’t worry, because she knows I won’t go very far away from her.
I’ll wait over here mama.
We saw lots of pretty stuff, even on a gloomy rainy day. It was one of my best walks ever!
The willow trees announce spring.
Mama said she was a little worried about taking on this 365 day walking project, but she’s been enjoying herself, and I love the fact we get to go go go! You might want to try it too. Don’t let the big number overwhelm you. Take it one walk at a time.
And if you’ve got a Princess (or Prince) at home, bring them along too. It’s good to spend time together outside exploring.
This path looks interesting.
You’ll both enjoy it!
Less talking, more walking mama!

Mum usually starts these challenges and then forgets to post the pictures after a few days. Maybe we should get her to do this one as we go go for a walk everyday, although often to the same places. You live near some really nice parks Katie! There are lambs everywhere here so we are getting less off lead time.

You remind me I still have to get out for today’s walk!!! We worked in the yard all day and that felt like a walk, but way less fun.

Good for you, Katie … and good for you, Dawn! Ok, ok, ok, I’m going to put a note on the inside of my front door … “GO WALK”. Sheesh. Mumble, mumble, grumble. I will report back with an honest report. On the other hand, what a good idea to post this on one’s blog … ok, I’ll report on my blog to those folks. They will hold me to it! 🙂 Thank you.

Hey Ann, have you gone for your walk yet? 🙂 Today it is cold (40s) and rainy. Going to be hard to keep the streak going.
